Higher Vibrations

In these days of New Age terminology the expression "higher
frequencies" is used to cover something of spiritual matters. That expression
can be misleading. A cellular body that is transformed into higher
frequencies will be roasted as a steak in a microwave oven unless the frame of
reference applies to a molecular or
electronic body.

It makes more sense to refer to a "higher velocity" or a higher
speed in the nervous system.

Referring to the narrow bandwidth of our ordinary consciousness
it makes good sense to presume that higher consciousness has something to do
with the higher speeds of information, or wider bandwidth.

An example from everyday life: in the moment of direct, actual
danger we have experienced how time slows down. Numerous records of people
having near death experiences reveal how extremely fast it is possible to
experience perceptions, giving the impression of a heightened
consciousness.

At the other end of the scale, in deep meditation, a
similar experience has been described. José Argüelles has, in "A Treatise on
Time Viewed from Its Own Dimension" a description of watching the flow of
thoughts with panoramic view, an awareness of time within non-conceptual
space:
"With practice one can begin to see the current of
thoughts and the ego attachments and recognize that no thought is more or less
important than any other. One can come to distinguish that there is actually
"space" between thoughts. This space between thoughts is the original
unobstructed nature of mind. To experience this space is to taste the essence of
now-ness. In the space of now there is no history, no ordinary time, no ego, no
beginning and no end. Because one learns to see without concepts, cultivating
this space is called cultivating clear seeing."

I have experienced such states, though it took many years to
realize it, because the spaces and what is within them are not words.

In view of the theory of subjective time quantum, the 16
bits/sec, one could suggest that in altered states of mind the speed of
consciousness has entered into another octave or another world.

One thing I have realized about consciousness is its
connection with being and reality. It might seem obvious but one can not change
one’s consciousness without having one’s being changed and hereby one's reality
altered. The concept of reality is to my understanding not solid but is modified
and altered by the level of one’s consciousness. The phrase "Your being attracts
your life" has puzzled me for decades until I had the understanding of how
attached ones whole thought patterns are connected to ones reality.
